Last month, Chau paid five local fishermen 25,000 rupees-about $350-to break the law and take him close to the island on November 14 under cover of darkness in their 30-foot-long wooden boat. The entire island sits within a protected zone patrolled by the Indian government, and it is illegal to approach from as far as six miles away, let alone visit it. It is one of the small pockets of mystery remaining in our increasingly known world. The island’s population, unique genetically, linguistically and culturally, isolated for millennia, is notably unfriendly to outsiders. And yet, in their seeming anachronism, the reports were entirely in keeping with the place where American missionary and adventurer John Allen Chau had chosen to go preach the Gospel: North Sentinel Island, a 20 square-mile speck of Indian territory in the Andaman archipelago, 30 miles west of Great Andaman in the Bay of Bengal, and home to one of the world’s least-contacted and least-understood groups of indigenous people, known as the Sentinelese.

However, with his adventures, you never know when he might be serious about visiting the untouched island. He tweeted: “I mentioned this before but I’ve had a lot of new followers then, it’s always good to get further perspective on s**tposts that may turn into something real one day.” He later claimed that he wasn’t being completely serious.
They are so kind! /BsI1n095CF- Lord Miles Routledge Adventures ✝️ April 27, 2022 TEA WITH THE TALIBAN! Im in Afghanistan, walked into Taliban residency by accident and after talking they gave me food, tea and even offered for me to stay the night. He tweeted late last month a selfie with the supposed members of the Taliban: “TEA WITH THE TALIBAN! I'm in Afghanistan, walked into Taliban residency by accident and after talking they gave me food, tea and even offered for me to stay the night. While in Afghanistan he claimed to have had tea with the Taliban. While on his trip to Afghanistan, he claimed to have had tea with the Taliban. Tell me why this wouldn’t work- Lord Miles Routledge Adventures ✝️ March 5, 2022 >twitch of uncontacted tribes, $$$ and help science >one crew in decontaminated suits sets up starlink, cameras and a solar panel all hidden >one crew sets off fireworks to distract the primitives >Buy 2 small boats and go to north sentinel island He tweeted: “Or like, go with a drone disguised as a big bird, film content, boom exclusive footage of non contacted tribe that’s near priceless.” He added that this will help science and in making some money. His mission involves getting two small boats to visit the island - with one crew setting off fireworks to distract the tribespeople, while the other crew, who would be donning decontaminated suits, sets up Starlink, cameras, and a hidden solar panel.Īccording to Miles, this would allow for a Twitch stream to be set up and monitor the mostly undocumented tribe. The Sentinelese remain one of the last ‘ uncontacted’ groups in the world and now Miles wants to document the group without putting his safety at risk. The North Sentinel Island is located in the Bay of Bengal, an Indian archipelago, with its inhabitants defending their island through forceful means from the outside world.īritish explorers found themselves wrecked on a reef near the island in 1867, with the 106 passengers onboard having to save themselves from attacks by the native people before being rescued by the Royal Navy.īack in 2006, two fishermen were killed by the Sentinelese, and American Christian missionary John Allen Chau was killed in 2018. Labelled as a 'danger tourist', Miles has travelled to Afghanistan amid the Taliban takeover, Ukraine during the Russian invasion, and Kazakhstan during riots. Miles Routledge, who uses the screen name Lord Miles Routledge Adventures on social media, is planning to travel to North Sentinel Island, which is inhabited by an 'uncontacted tribe'. What is the thing that is always prioritized while travelling? Safety, right? Well, not for this lad!Ī British man who travels to some of the riskiest places has now set his eyes on the world's most dangerous island.
